Good day. I am writing to enlighten people that Renewable Energy is a necessary industry and we shouldn't over look this. There is no reason why we cant have Trump Solar or Trump Turbines branded into our Solar or Wind Farms. A big question is then..... why don't we use this technology on a massive scale? We already have the grid infrastructure. 75% of our population is on coastal regions making solar, offshore wind, and wave energy easy to integrate to our substations and transport power to homes. Its better for our health. It can create new skilled jobs. The cost of integrating the entire United States into Renewable Energy would be a small fraction of what we spent on our most recent wars. Most importantly, what would Jesus accept if he were still in flesh form. Not to be religious; but one has to ask; would Jesus accept fracking the earth, mining for coal, disposing harmful chemicals into the water? No priest here; but I am 'guessing' the answer is no and that he would want something clean and that encourages life. Coal and Oil are not the solution.
Not here to play politics or play sides. I am here to merely inform that from an engineering and economic standpoint; it makes complete sense to stipend the laid off workers and invest into them by offering education for learning new trades, manufacture large quantities of solar panels and turbines, and begin removing the old power plants and tie in the new ones.
In case anyone was wondering about intermittent/ not consistent power; this is an excellent topic. Without going into the weeds; there appears to be a solid competition between TESLA and AMZN with regards to battery storage and hydrogen fuel cell technology. Storage and grid stabilization can be overcome using either of these two methods... and a few others.
Cheers.
